    Charging cavalry, flashing sword, and glittering spear;
        countless slain, masses of corpses,
            endless dead bodies—they stumble over their dead bodies!
Because of the many whorings of the whore,
        the lovely graces of the mistress of sorceries,
        the one who sells nations by means of her whorings
            and peoples by means of her sorceries:

    the Lord of heavenly forces.
        I will lift your skirts over your face;
        I will show nations your nakedness
            and kingdoms your dishonor.

I will show the nations your nakedness(F)
    and the kingdoms your shame.
